Question | Answer |
most of the adjectives of a syllable we add the "-er" to form its comparative | example: big/larger fast/faster |
for short adjectives ending in "-e" we simply add "-r" | example wide/wider late/later: |
short adjectives ending in vowel and consonant make a double consonant and add "-er" | example: high/louder big/larger |
for short adjectives ending in "-y" change the "y" to "i" and add the ending "-er" | example: happy/happier funny/funnier |
for many adjectives of two or more syllables we use "more" plus the original adjective more + adjective | example: money/more money joy/more joy |
some adjectives have a special comparative form | example: well/better bad/worse |
for affirmative sentences we use words "q" after the comparative to make the comparison | example unique alexis is the same as joose example plueral that shirt is better than yours |
these examples that we compare in singular and plural serve to differentiate from the verb "to be" and the structure "as adjetive as" depending on whether we speak in singular or plural | example unique I'm not as fat as Jorge example plural sadness and happiness are good |
we have seen examples with comparisons "more" and we have also made comparisons of "less" the adjective does not change lias + adjectives | example my house is safer than yours alexis is more shy than yaki |
in these examples the first four we compare in singular and in the second plurals to differentiate the use of the verb "to be" in both cases | example the truck is cheaper my bike is comfortable |
